Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

          Any news on towing capacity (specifically tow ball weights)? I can't find anything even on overseas sites.

              Road Vehicle Certification for T-Roc is here: T-Roc Road Vehicle Descriptor

              This includes most of the vehicle specs/engine/transmission options that are approved for import into the country.

                Thanks for that. Looks like I'll have to wait until the full specs come out!

                  You may not even get it then. It’ll be in the owners manual for the car.

                    I have been waiting for this car for it seems like ages now !

                    Driven one in England and Scotland, annoyed a dealer in Portugal and now so close ......

                    It would seem that at least initially there will be very limited choice, was hoping for R Line seats, a conservative upholstery choice in leather and electric tailgate without sunroof .....


                    They have spec'd the vehicle well with many of the toys, but unfortunately may have to wait for the production release ..... but then the R is likely to be just around the corner .....

                      Yes the initial shipment will be fully optioned with sunroof unless you want one of the "X" models in red/black or white/red.

                      I'm not sure how the "packs" have been structured that you'll be able to get one with the options that you're after (leather without sunroof). It looks like these are bundled together in the "Luxury Pack".

                        I wonder how far away that corner is?!! I'm in no hurry for a new car, the problem is that adding one more to the mix just makes the decision harder.

                          I’d put it at 12 months at least. It has only just been launched overseas and we’ve only just got the standard T-Roc in pre-launch.

                            I've confirmed that the engine in the 140TSI T-Roc is the same B-cycle variant with different tune as in the Tiguan (132kW) and Polo GTI (147kW). All have the same CZP engine code.

                            Good news is that these are now tuneable and you should also be able to bolt up a Golf R IS38 turbo and turn it into your own T-Roc R long before the real one arrives here in 3 years.

                              How do VW react to tuning ....you are refering to a chip remap here ?

                              I had a TT many years ago with an APR map that Audi didn't seem to worroy about and Suncorp were easy on the insurance.

                              I currently have a Boxster, and Porsche have apoplexy with me just replacing the amplifier.
